Share some love

During a lifetime a person learns who they can and cannot trust, what to believe and what not to believe, when to listen and as the song goes - "You find out who your friends are"

Recently I have come to realize and fully understand the phrase - "Looking out for Number One". I will not disclose details on how I came to this understanding but now it is clearer than crystal and comprehended more than I could ever fathom. There is no such thing as helping out a fellow man anymore. In today's time everyone is so afraid that someone is going to get the upper hand or accomplish more or make more money than they themselves and jealousy sets in, unhappiness occurs - you get the picture.

My opinion is that a person can not get anywhere in life without the confidence that they can achieve whatever their heart desires - and getting "things" and doing "things" is not a bad life. But my life to me is my immediate family and close friends. Life isn't about concentrating on how much money you have or you're going to have, or a title you may or may not ever get at your job, it is your family. So many families today are not as close as they should be - why? Pride, jealousy of another, lack of understanding - failure to communicate effectively. For example..I admit I am not as close as I would like to be with one of my sisters.. why... - lack of understanding, a lot of misunderstanding and failure to communicate effectively. I hope that I have not been an awful sister but I know I haven't been an easy one to live with or get along with - but I do love her - we have our differences of opinion - but I still love her and would bend over backwards for her when she needed me.

Everyone tries and everyone fails, Everyone falls down (usually getting kicked while they're down ) and then they're gossiped about when they get back up again. There is no one right answer to anything, everyone has a different right answer but no one wants to listen to what someone else has to say. I am rambling and I realize I am rambling - I truly hope you are getting the jest of the story. I don't have to prove myself to anyone but myself in some cases I am my own worst enemy. My home is stable, my heart is full and my nerves are shot that's usually a mom's point of view but in all seriousness- Greed may make your rich in dollars but it will never make you rich (in life), but... Sharing what you have (knowledge, joy, manners and kindness) with others is contagious and you'll be surprised how happy your life can really be.
